Hi Rommel,
Thank you very much for your help. As a windows admin, I deleted the
old postgres user account, and uninstalled postgresql and installed it
to get past the issue.
Kind Regards,
Gotham.

Subject: Re: [ADMIN] Problem with reinstall of PostgreSQL 8.3
Hi,
This happened to me before and the problem was with the 'postgres'
Windows account that was created during the first install. If you don't
specify a password for this account, the installer will choose a very
hard to guess, hard to remember password :-). I logged in as an
administrator and removed the postgres user account and let the
installer re-create it. You also have the option of manually setting
the password for this account, then telling the installer what that
password is.
I don't know if your problem is the same as the one I experienced, but
I hope this helps.
Rommel.

Hi,
I installed postgreSQL 8.3 on windows and changed few settings for ssl.
After which I uninstalled it by executing the .msi file again. My
intention was to reinstall from scratch, and unfortunately during the
reinstall I am getting a error
'Invalid username specified: logon failure: unknown user name or bad
password.'
I am providing valid windows user name and pwd.
How can I get past this issue, please help.
Thanks.
